A new still from Thor: Love and Thunder is now available, and while it's just one image, it offers quite a bit of insight for fans hungry for new info about the upcoming MCU movie.
In the photo, we can see Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie and Natalie Portman's Mighty Thor. Much has been said about Portman's increased physique for the role and she clearly shows off the results of her training. Valkyrie seems to be wearing a different set of armor, a far cry from the business suit she wore in the recent trailer.
However, the person sitting below them is a little more interesting. Some have identified the figure as the Goddess Bast, played by Akosia Sabet. Bast is well-known as a Panther deity worshipped by the Wakandans. Given that Gorr, the God Butcher is integral to Love and Thunder's story, it's not surprising that Bast would be present in the movie.
It's unknown if this is Bast herself or an avatar hosting the spirit of Bast similar to Moon Knight and Khonshu. The scene pictured here could be a gathering of different pantheons of gods and goddesses as they reckon with the threat of Gorr. Russell Crowe's Zeus was shown briefly in the trailer standing in front of what could be other deities.
Mighty Thor and Valkyrie being in attendance would also make sense considering they would represent the Norse pantheon.
There's also speculation that aspects of Moon Knight might tie into Love and Thunder's plot considering its focus on the Egyptian pantheon. In fact, the show was originally going to reference Love and Thunder, but the idea was scrapped due to scheduling uncertainties.
Thor: Love and Thunder releases on July 8, 2022. While you wait, go take a look at what's on the horizon for the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Kevin Feige and his team plan the next ten years.
